boosting a block with two welded holes in it doesnt seem like a solid start for your platform build. might i suggest replacing that 3.1 with a later model 3.8...hell even a 3.4.

iirc the 3.1 and 3.4 are both 60 degree v6's and are interchangable. hell it might be worth it to you to look into www.60degreev6.com. also im not sure but you might be able to toss on some heads from the newer fwd 3500 v6's. if you can id look into going that way because they flow better than 3400 heads ported and polished at their best.

theres plenty of options for the 60 degree v6's that you should look into if your actually serious.

thats a video of a 3400 v6 turbo at 10 psi doing 12.9 in a fwd corsica. the guy is on 60degv6 i believe and has tons of info on this type of application and tuning.
werd, due to money, space, and family issues I've been on the fence about selling my 3.4 for the right price I'd let it go, but I don't even know why I'm posting this because I wouldn't sell it to him anyway

the 3500 and 3400 upper manifold is interchangable so the gaskit design is the same. the 3.9, while yes it still is a 60* V6 is a whole different motor entirely
